"Christmas night, another fight.
Tears we cried; a flood.
Got all kinds of poison in, poison in my blood.
Took my feet, to Oxford street, trying to right a wrong.
"Just walk away", those windows say, but I can't believe she's gone.
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall,
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.
A group of cameras on there flicker, Oh they flicker and they flow.
And I'm up here holding on to all those chandeliers of hope.
Like some drunkard Elvis singing, I go singing out of tune.
Singing how I always loved you darling, and I always will.
Oh when I'm still waiting for the snow to fall,
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.
Still waiting for the snow to fall, It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all.
Those Christmas lights,
Light up the street,
Down where the sea and city meet.
May all your troubles soon be gone.
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on.
Those Christmas lights, light up the street.
Maybe they'll bring her back to me.
Then all my troubles will be gone,
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on.
Ohhhhohhhhoohhhohhhhhhhhooohohohohhhhhh
Oh Christmas lights, light up the street.
Light up the fireworks in me.
May all your troubles soon be gone.
Those Christmas lights, keep shining on."
I turn the music up, i got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
Until monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight
I turn the music up, i got my records on
From underneath the rubble sing a rebel song
Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop
Maybe i'm in the black, maybe i'm on my knees
Maybe i'm in the gap between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart
And we saw oh this light i swear you, emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls, every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall
Oh
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
Is a is a waterfall
Every tear
Is a waterfall
Oh oh oh
So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still i'll raise the flag
Oh
It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
A wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear
Every tear
Every teardrop is a waterfall
once upon a time somebody ran
somebody ran away saying fast as i can
i got to go
i got to go
once upon a time we fell apart
you hold it in your hands
like two halves in your heart
once upon a time we're burning bright
all we ever seem to do is fight
on and on
and on and on and on
once upon a time on a same side
once upon a time on a same side in the same game
and why'd you have to go
have to go and throw it all to my face
i could've been a princess, you'd be a king
could've had a castle on a ring
but no, you let me go
i could've been a princess, you'd be a king
could've had a castle on a ring
but no, you let me go
you stole my star
you stole my star
cause you really hurt me
oh you really hurt me
cause you really hurt me
oh you really hurt me
cause you really hurt me
oh you really hurt me
cause you really hurt me
oh you really hurt me
Ohhhhhhhhhh...
Once upon a time somebody ran
Somebody ran away saying fast as I can
I got to go, I got to gooo
Once upon a time we fell apart
You hold it in your hands
The two halves of my heart
Ohhhhh, ohhhhh!
Ohhhhhhhhhh...
Once upon a time we're burning bright
All we ever seem to do is fight
On and on...
And on and on and on...
Once upon a time on the same side
Once upon a time on the same side in the same game
And why'd you have to go
Have to go and throw it all to my face
I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could've had a castle and wore a ring
But nooooo, you let me gooooo
I could've been a princess, you'd be a king
Could've had a castle and wore a ring
But nooooo, you let me gooooo
You stole my star
Lalalalalalaaaa.... [x2]
You stole my star
Lalalalalalaa
Ohhhhhhhhhh...
Cause you really hurt me
No you really hurt me [x2]
Cause you really hurt me
Ooooooooh no you really hurt me[x2]
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
Chorus:
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
Chorus: *2
